At Nature Connects, we believe human health is inseparable from the living world. Our work brings you closer to nature, yourself, and others through three interconnected realms:
Nature Health & Wellbeing
Support your general wellbeing and flourish through nature-based activities. Spend time outdoors and learn practices that reduce stress, build confidence, and bring you into the present moment. Activities include fire-building, sensory connection to nature, creative expression, and mindfulness — all delivered in a supportive group setting.
Services: Woodland/ Winter Wellness, NatureWell Staff Wellbeing & Team Building, Bespoke Half day/ Full day sessions
Ecotherapy: Healing and Growth
Explore your personal healing and growth in nature. Through eco-therapeutic techniques, you can restore balance, integrate past experiences, and develop a deeper sense of wholeness. Nature becomes a supportive partner on your journey to resilience and fulfillment.
Services: Nature Reflects 1:1 Sessions
Deeper Nature/ Spiritual Ecolology
Connect with nature as a mirror for the deeper, transpersonal, and more-than-human world. Creative processes, meditation, vision quests, and seasonal celebrations help you gain insight, meaning, and a sense of interconnected participation in life’s unfolding.
Services: Climate Cafés, Wheel of the Year Celebrations
Why it works
These three realms are not stages, but interwoven dimensions that support grounding, healing, and awakening. Together, they offer flexible, nature-based pathways tailored to the needs of individuals, groups, and teams.

Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical well-being, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and the production of stress hormones
Green Prescriptions: Alternatives to mainstream medication and pharmaceutical drugs are now encouraged and understood by many GP's and health professionals to be a viable, cost-effective and better way to treat or improve certain conditions and illness. Therefore when you go to your doctor you can ask whether a green prescription can help you and ask for an appointment with a link worker. You should then be 'prescribed' to a link worker who will book you a longer appointment during which they will listen to you and will show you the many offerings available through social and green prescriptions schemes and help you choose if any may be right for you. All GP surgeries in Cornwall now have contact with link workers, so next time you see your doctor for a check up, ask how they can help you find out what services are available.
(not all services are funded, although, like ours, many organisations run on a non-profit or charitable basis, if you think social prescriptions are important, mention them, with support, in the future, more organisations like ours will be funded as the viable health providers they are)
Our hopes for the future: As awareness grows, some GP practices are turning to natural alternatives in well being interventions and therapies. Through what is known as 'green prescriptions', GP's can recommend to their patient that spending more time in nature could benefit them. By working with link workers we aim to increase awareness of and referrals to nature-based practices in Cornwall, which has high numbers of people suffering from physical and mental health issues. Areas of the county also have some of the highest levels of poverty in the UK, which raises stress levels, a known factor in affecting positive health.
